2007 Nissan Frontier Timing Chain Replacement - 4.0L
This video shows how I replace a timing chain on a 2007 Nissan Frontier with 200K miles. The engine had a whining sound at high idle. I decided to replace components before it breaks and damages the engine.

    Reply I have one that has jumped , (bought used ) damage to the crank pully and bottom cover hint at something heavy being dropped into the engine bay with the motor on ..... Anyway there is a 3 notch discrepancy on the cam pulleys . gonna' get the bottom cover off later to see what else is screwed up

    Nice job, enjoy the detail, but I hit a roadblock at the step needing to pull the PS pump mount bracket. At 7:21 you have the alternator free, then from 7:22-7:34 you have the PS pump attach bracket out showing the two bolts that needed to be removed from the right side of the engine. How did you get access to those two bolts? I intended to go through the wheel well, but it looks like the exhaust manifold is on the way. Did you remove the exhaust manifold first? Thanks!!!

      Disregard...I was able to access both bolts by reaching around the engine from the front.

    Drive the dowel pins down while the cover is off. Drive them back in when the cover is located.

    My balancer has 3 spokes. was able to thread 3/8" steel cable through the bottom and tied to the frame. Crank bolt torques to 150 ft-lbs! Had to use floor jack handle as a cheater bar, still tough. You have some arm strength!

    Hello. is it easy to replace the main timing chain tensioner without removing the whole thing? or do you need to do anything special?

    You’re the first person to have it truly on TDC. what’s the correct way there’s the market that usual and there’s a mark on the timing cover inspection window around the 2 o’clock position.

  • @dquam3885
    @dquam3885 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Please tell me the 25 timing chain screws are all interchangable!!! Do the small timing gear covers reall nead to come off?

    • @slothypunk
      @slothypunk 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I just marked mine and put it back in the same way once I am done changing the timing chain, IDK how alldata said it should be done in 7 hours, I started on Friday afternoon and finished it on Sunday early evening, more like 20-30 hours job for me!

    I notice that pully there and then gone as well with no reference to it. Still good work a lot of work.Thanks for the knowledge.I have to do this and I'm not happy.😳 $3.200.00 at the dealership to have done alone with a water pump.

    • @slothypunk
      @slothypunk 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      well if you have to do it then you have to do it or have someone do it for you, or buy a new one! My slow behind gets this done in about 25 hours on the weekend

    Engine is awefully clean for 200K! Seems like it would be easier and safer to pull the radiator. Perhaps replace it while you are at it. No point risking the Strawberry Milkshake of Death!

    I'm working in a Nissan frontier same year, and when I tried to remove the flywheel nut there's not enough room to use the impact tool . In this video it looks there's plenty of room.

    Personally, I shoved a 10mm Allen wrench through the hole in the balancer, a lip on the timing cover, broke right free, half in Rachet and a 2’ cheater pipe.

    • @slothypunk
      @slothypunk 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      all chains will go bad eventually, if you are on 200k miles and over, you are on borrowed times depending on how you drive your vehicle. Granted some will do ok until 500k, but eventually you will have to change it if you want to keep driving it

    • @slothypunk
      @slothypunk 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Technically you don't have to, if you don't mind getting doused with oil all over the place when you disassemble it!

  • @Aw3someOpZ
    @Aw3someOpZ ปีที่แล้ว

    did you just do this from the top, no lifting the truck? Mines starting to act up and been recovering from surgery. I got nothing better to do right now, so this would be swell if i can just do it from the top without dropping to the ground.

    Using a weighted socket you can remove those pulley bolts as fast like removing a valve cover bolt

    Also I noted you forgot to pull the idler pulley when trying to pry off the cover. The next frame you had it off and cover broke lose. That pulley bolt holds the cover on so make sure you remove that if your reading this.

    In 2023…how much should one expect to pay for a job like this at a shop? I just bought a very nice 07 frontier 4x4 crew cab with 154k miles and it developed the “whine”. Is it even worth it to do it on that truck? How many miles could the engine tranny go after this job?

  • @joyroc885

    Be good idea to replace the oil galley gaskets while your in there since they are known to go bad and cause low oil pressure at idle.

    Is it not possible to replace the chain and just not mess with the rotation of the engine? This keeping it in time. Basically just slip on the new chain

      Its way easier to line up all the marks before removal.

    19mm weighted socket on the crank bolt gets it right off. Then pry balancer off with a screwdriver on each side.
